I Believe & You should Too!

I spoke with a friend earlier today who wanted to know how to get discovered while having little to no experience in acting. My friend was very frustrated as most people who aspire to do the abnormal can get at one point in their careers. The truth of the matter is that we get side tracked on things and items that we feel we should have right this minute. Thinking like this only holds you in limbo, complaining or being frustrated about your situation.

One thing that I do is focus on the things/experience I do have. If you don't have it then you can't focus on it. It's a waste of time. If you want a 1k computer but you only have 300.00 you might want to work on saving 700.00 over a period of time. If you really have to have that computer right away then you'll have to sacrifice and purchase a computer that fits the 300.00 budget. Granted, it wont come with all the bells and whistles of the 1k computer but the cheaper computer should be able to do the basic functions you need right now.

You have to begin to believe in yourself more than anyone around you. You have to be your own franchise player. While reading a book titled Profiles of Power & Success I ran across a statement that sums it all up. The statement reads "Super success & Power emanate from the impossible dreams of abnormal people".
When you look at some of the people that you want to admire such as the Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers,and Celebrities one thing that is common are that these people started out as everyday people. These people had a dream and they believed that they could achieve that dream. A dream is nothing more than a vision of how you'd like to live out your life. It will only be a vision and nothing else if you never do anything to actually obtain that way of life.

At times we as human beings get side tracked. I admit to being side tracked early in my career. At times you just want to throw up your hands and give up. Nothing worth doing will ever be easy. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. One thing that is needed when making moves to obtain your goals and dreams are to keep positive people around you. Watch positive television shows, read positive books, and eat healthy foods. Exercise your body and this will help keep a healthy mind as well as a sleek and sexy frame. Keep your eyes open and your mind sharp. If you happen to keep running into a brick wall, stop and re-evaluate your situation. Find out what it is you really want to do. Make a plan and follow it. Many individuals outside of your immediate network may not understand you. News flash, it's not for them to understand you. You will gain and loose friends on this journey but that's just life. Another thing to remember is that anything that works against you is only an illusion. Stay focused and continue to believe in self. Understand that you are priceless. Rebuild your self-esteem and run the race you want to run.

While delivering a speech for the 2008 graduating senior class at Standford University Oprah Winfrey commented saying "If it doesn't feel right then don't do it and if it does feel right then do it"

Continue to push no matter what. If you happen to take a different route from the original route, understand that it is perfectly fine. Just as long as you stay in pursuit of your dreams.
